Asian sentiment in America. It was ignorant; Ebens and Nitz presumed Chin, a
27-year-old Chinese American, was Japanese. It was economically motivated;
the two autoworkers blamed the Japanese - and, mistakenly, Chin - for the
ailing U.S. auto industry and the consequential loss of jobs. And it was
horribly violent; the use of a baseball bat as a murder weapon was a brutal
act and an equally brutal reminder of Americana.
